Winter Veg Tip

Remove any yellow leaves from over wintering brassicas to avoid any spread of disease and get rid of any pests that may be hiding in the old foliage. Clear away the remains of any other old crops in the veg garden and add to the compost heap.

Slugs in particular can still be a threat and they love to hide under fallen leaves and plant debris so tidy up dead leaves or old plant material to remove any pests that might be lurking there.
